Doncaster Pride

The tenth Doncaster Pride. The event, with humble beginnings in the Market Place and an audience of around a thousand in 2007, now proudly stands as one of the biggest events in Doncaster with crowds expected to reach ten thousand to mark the 10th birthday.

The event is run for and by the gay community but has always welcomed everyone including families to the colourful day that includes a walk through the streets of Doncaster. The walk is led by a pipe and drum band and features local community groups including the South Yorkshire Commemorative Trust and representatives from collieries across the borough.

Following the walk a main stage will bring a mix of acts for all the family. Local performers, community theatre, drag and burlesque performers will be accompanied on stage by tribute acts. Add to the walk and the main stage a mix of food and drink outlets, stalls crammed full of info and retailers selling an array of goods and the event is complete.
